Rutt Etra video synthesizes you. More “teaching old effects new tricks”.

Teaching an old effect new tricks. Experimenting with old footage in VDMX using a new private glitch effect.

Some samples of new footage shot on 7D & GH1 for SNS, mixed in VDMX with smatterings of glitch and optical flow, plus the VDMX workspace incase anyone is interested how I use VDMX (or that im too lazy to crop images):
